After battling a P0172 code since purchasing the car about a month ago... Finally had my OBDII reader pick up a misfire on cylinder 4... the car has had a ROUGH IDLE and the P0172...I guess I wanna know what are your thoughts on this? Was this Marginalized misfire creating the car to produce a P0172 or would P0172 cause Cylinder 4 Misfire? I can see that the COP's look to be cheap aftermarket off Ebay/Amazon so Yes I need to spend the $500 on new COP's but due to hearing what sounds like a rattle I've been hesitant until my Mechanic checks out the chains....but now I'm thinking the rattle could be an what I think is the idler pulley...Don't want to beat a dead horse but I still feel like I'm chasing my tail here due to the fact my last 2001 V8's engine purred like a kitten the whole 5 years I had it...I was thinking this could be leaking injectors, is there anyway to tell if the injectors truly are the culprit without bringing the car to a shop and having them run expensive tests? any thoughts or advise appreciated
